October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

Do we really need another low cost dedicated server offering saturating the market with poor clone servers.
This industry is maturing and you get what you pay for and if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. No Thank You!
